Yoga or meditation
Choose gentle yoga or stretching, not vigorous power or ashtanga yoga, which could energize you instead. Try easy yoga stretches in bed followed by simple meditation. Close your eyes and, for 5 to 10 minutes, pay attention to nothing but your breathing.
Magnesium and calcium
Magnesium and calcium are both sleep boosters, and when taken together, they become even more effective. Plus, by taking magnesium, you cancel out any potential heart problems that might arise from taking calcium alone. Take 200 milligrams of magnesium—lower the dose if it causes diarrhea—and 600 milligrams of calcium each night.
Wild lettuce
If you've suffered anxiety, headaches, or muscle or joint pain, you might already be familiar with wild lettuce. It's also effective at calming restlessness and reducing anxiety—and may even quell restless legs syndrome. When using a wild-lettuce supplement, take 30 to 120 milligrams before bed.
Hops
Beer fans will no doubt be familiar with the calming effect of hops, the female flowers used in beer making. For sleep purposes, though, this extract has been widely used as a mild sedative for anxiety and insomnia. Take 30 to 120 milligrams before climbing under the covers.
Aromatherapy
Lavender is the trick here, as studies have proven that it aids in sleep. It's also a cheap, nontoxic way to slip into a peaceful slumber. Find a spray with real lavender and spritz it on your pillow before bedtime. Or buy a lavender-filled pillow.
Melatonin
Melatonin is the hormone that controls sleep, so it's no wonder that it naturally induces sleep. Although some experts recommend taking higher doses, studies show that lower doses are more effective. Plus, there's concern that too-high doses could cause toxicity as well as raise the risk of depression or infertility. Take 0.3 to 0.5 milligrams before bed.
L-theanine
This amino acid comes from green tea and not only helps maintain a calm alertness during the day but also a deeper sleep at night. However, green tea doesn't contain enough L-theanine to significantly boost your REM cycles. Besides, you might then wake up to go to the bathroom. Instead, buy a brand called Suntheanine, which is pure L-theanine. (Other brands have inactive forms of theanine that block the effectiveness.) Take 50 to 200 milligrams at bedtime.
Valerian
Valerian is one of the most common sleep remedies for insomnia. Numerous studies have found that valerian improves deep sleep, speed of falling asleep, and overall quality of sleep. However, it's most effective when used over a longer period of time. One caveat? About 10% of the people who use it actually feel energized, which may keep them awake. If that happens to you, take valerian during the day. Otherwise, take 200 to 800 milligrams before bed.

Carbohydrates / The Glycemic Index
What is it?
The glycemic index of food is a ranking of foods based on their immediate effect on blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. Carbohydrate foods that breakdown quickly during digestion have the highest glycemic indexes. Their blood sugar response is fast and high. Carbohydrates that breakdown slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream, have low glycemic indexes.
What is the significance of Glycemic Index?
*
Low GI means a smaller rise in blood sugar and can help control established diabetes
*
Low GI diets can help people lose weight and lower blood lipids
*
Low GI diets can improve the body's sensitivity to insulin
*
High GI foods can help re-fuel carbohydrate stores after exercise
How to switch to a low GI diet
*
Breakfast cereals based on wheat bran, barley and oats
*
"Grainy" breads made with whole seeds
*
Pasta and rice in place of potatoes
*
Vinegar and lemon juice dressings
In short, the goal should be to build a good plan including the low Glycemic Index foods. This way, hunger is minimized, and there is less tendency to "cheat" or overeat. Consequently, you can continue to lose body fat or maintain your weight - once the excess pounds have been lost.
Even for those whose main objective is not fat loss, foods that are low on the glycemic index will help alleviate mood swings and regulate energy levels.
Some points to ponder:
* Foods that stimulate insulin surges can cause people to eat 60 - 70% more calories at the following meal.
* People who consume foods relatively high in glucose (such as white bread, most commercial whole wheat bread, and raisins) eat an average of 200 calories more at the next meal than those who eat fructose (a sugar found in fruits).
Low glycemic index foods can be mixed with modest quantities of high glycemic foods without losing their hunger reducing effect.
The purpose of the chart is not to have you eliminate those nutritious choices from your diet. Instead, balance the foods that are "less desirable" by eating them with foods that are "desirable."
A low glycemic food plan can be beneficial to:
* diabetics
* hypoglycemics
* persons with insulin resistance or Syndrome X
* dieters
* athletes
High glycemic foods:
* elevate insulin and blood glucose
* stimulate fat-storage
* exacerbate hyperactivity
* reduce sports performance.
* low glycemic foods do not.
A low glycemic food plan is beneficial for:
* helping balance blood glucose and insulin levels
* reducing excess body fat levels
* increasing sports performance.
Low glycemic food plans are not based on starvation or deprivation. Eating is a part of our lives and we should not have to sacrifice tasty foods in order to stay healthy.
Low glycemic food plans focus on reducing ingestion of foods that elevate insulin and stimulate fat-storage. We can't totally eliminate high glycemic foods from our diet, but we can be aware of the glycemic reaction that foods have so we can make better choice.
Low glycemic food plans have been proven to reduce incidence of Type II diabetes and to help control Type I and II diabetes, hypoglycemia and hypertension. Low glycemic foods do not stimulate food-craving hormones like Neuropeptide Y and Lipoprotein Lipase. Stimulation of these hormones can cause chemically-triggered cravings for food and uncontrolled eating binges.
The Low Glycemic Food Plan for Women in the "Low Glycemic Food Plans and Recipes 2000" book includes specific daily caloric recommendations based on caloric requirements of the average adult woman. Adult men may follow the plan by increasing the calories to a minimum of 1,650 per day. The selection of your total daily required calories is the responsibility of the reader and his/her health care professional (see the Daily Caloric Intake page). Caloric requirements vary greatly according to the needs and medical history of the individual. With some body types, switching from high glycemic foods to low glycemic foods can result in a significant loss of body fat without changing caloric intake.
It would be ideal for everyone to cook balanced meals at home, but the reality is that most families are too busy to make home cooked meals every day. The Low Glycemic Food Plan for Women is a sample of realistic food planning, which is why fast-foods are included. Though the Food Plan contains fast-foods, the daily fat calories still meet the heart healthy guidelines of the American Heart Association, Harvard University, the American Cancer Society, and the UDG (Unified Dietary Guidelines)
Obviously, low glycemic food plans can be followed for more than 7 days. You can create your own low glycemic food plan with many variations. Be sure to ingest enough calories per day to meet the needs of your own body.
For optimum health, select a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and foods daily. This helps assure an adequate intake of Phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals.
The GI of foods has important implications for the food industry. Terms such as complex carbohydrates and sugars, which commonly appear on food labels, are now recognised as having little nutritional or physiological significance. The WHO/FAO recommend that these terms be removed and replaced with the total carbohydrate content of the food and its GI value. However, the GI rating of a food must be tested physiologically and only a few nutrition research groups around the world currently provide a legitimate testing service. The Human Nutrition Unit at the University of Sydney has been at the forefront of glycemic index research for over a decade and has tested dozens of foods as an integral part of its program. Jennie Brand Miller (JBM) is the senior author of International Tables of Glycemic Index published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1995.

Breakfast menu for a diabetic or others who wanted to live healthy
All of which can be made quickly and easily and contain the right number of calories and carbohydrates which your body will need.
Menu 1 - For this you need to get 1 slice of whole wheat bread which you toast to your own particular liking. Then on to the toast you can either place 1/4 cup of egg substitute or cottage cheese. However if you want something a little more warm and substantial in the morning replace the cottage cheese/egg substitute with 1/2 cup of oatmeal mixed with 1/2 cup of skimmed milk. Plus you are also allowed 1/2 of a small banana.
Menu 2 - This one is even far easier to make than the menu mentioned above. Take 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries and drink 1 cup of fat free or low fat milk with them. However if you want in place of the blueberries instead have a small blueberry muffin or other type of breakfast pastry with a cup of fat free milk.
Menu 3 - Although not as quick to prepare as the second sample breakfast menu in this article, it is quicker than the first one. Take two toasted slices of whole wheat bread and on to these spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. As well as the toast you can also have a cup of tea or coffee (if adding milk use the low fat or the fat free variety) and one small banana.
When you are preparing any of the menus above in order to ensure that your blood sugar levels remain constant it is best that you eat at the same time each day. However, what you must never do is avoid having any breakfast at all.
Plus with all the sample breakfast menu for diabetics that you see in this article as well as on the internet, you need to make sure that you use the exact amounts of food mentioned. Otherwise this could actually further aggravate rather than help to control the symptoms associated with diabetes.
